And a new Battle Facility to test 'Effort'. Similar to how Skyscraper/Tree Hollow work. I was thinking of it being called Battle Dungeon with the theme in mind.

I was also thinking of a test of 'Union' like the multi-train in Battle Subway. But in my opinion, giving every Battle Facility the ability to play with friends in a co-op form, even just wirelessly, would be better.

Maybe have a Legendary Duo that depends on which path you take? If you go East, you only get A. If you go West, you only get B.

So?

That would be cool if you went right instead of left you could meet the evil team earlier but if you went left instead of right you would here about them robbing a trainer when you get to town which could have been you if you took that route

I like your line up for the Battle Frontier.

Effort? Easy: does anyone remember the water currents in Emerald and Unova? The currents could be used to navigate and obstruct a water path in a facility.

"The Battle Cave" A large cave system filled with water. Moving water currents flow throughout the cave, and the rooms have been built and geared for intense fights.
The player will be given a small motorboat (the size of a surfing Pokémon). He/she will ride the motorboat and find the right paths towards the Cave Dweller, _______ (insert name here), or will be pushed back or sent to the end or have to battle with the Trainers. As more and more Cave trainers are fought, the cave becomes brighter.

This facility is both a game of Luck themes and Bravery themes from The Arcade and Pyramid.

That sounds so awesome and if they bought back 2 rivals again (which I liked, if only they had given them better teams) then each path will focus on one of them, then when they join together you battle the rival who went down the other path

I wonder when we'll get region info/map?
Really hoping for something creative and hopefully less linear then Isshu.
I'm not against linearity but would like to go back to that versatile approach that regions like Hoenn had.

Re-watching the trailer (which I'll do later) I do like some of the environments shown.
I want diversity from GF. New evironments we've never seen before even if it's crazy stuff like walking on stars, okay that's a bit too much but the point is made.
I wanna see old environments too but in a refreshed way. Less linearity. Creative ways of moving around like doing random things to get from A to B and having more then one option to navigate.
Perhaps swimming by yourself or jumping on to the rooftops of Paris from one building to another.

Regardless, I just want Gamefreak to push the limits of Pokemon and the 3DS and Gamefreak themselves.
I think with every aspect of Pokemon, I want Gamefreak to take some kind of a risk with the Region's design.
There's not much more to add on this thread/topic as news on the region has been scarce, but hoping that will change ASAP.

1.Poison: In the middle of an underground civilization, the leader is the queen of the underground. Female
2.Ground: An Indiana Jones type gym where you go through mines, traps swing vines and run from a giant boulder rolling towards you, the gym leader is a great explorer and treasure hunter. Male
3.Dark: Since Dark is based on Trickery, maybe the gym trainers could have a variety of types but all have at least one dark type Pokemon. The gym is set in a Cirque Du Soliel type place with the Ringmaster as Gym Leader. Female
4.Dragon: I know it's early but the gym is a great Colosseum/Gladiator type ring, you battle in rounds. Male
5.Steel: Takes place in an abandoned railway station where Steam Punk is the fashion trend. Male
6.Psychic: An Old lady specializing in spirits and a fortuneteller, you battle her in a magic room that transforms back into her house. Female
7.Bug: A Double Battle with both types with two wildlife experts that have their own TV Show, the gym is based around their special Pokemon enclosure. Female
8.Grass: A Baker that uses natural ingredients to make healthy meals for people and is a fitness chef, you fight her in her bakery. Male

Elite Four: It is made up of four buildings/Houses along a giant mountain, you fight them as you travel higher and higher.
1.Electric: A Scientist that designs the world's most energy efficient Cars/Buses/Trains Male
2.Normal: A Specialist Pokemon Doctor/Breeder. Female
3.Water: Owns a station that uses Tidal power to create energy. Male
4.Fire: A World renowned retired Movie Director. Female

Would love to see something like this in the games.
By the way, you didn't mention anything about Zee (French accent) Champion..

1.Poison: In the middle of an underground civilization, the leader is the queen of the underground. Female

What does underground have to do with Poison type? That has more to do with the Ground type.

So it's another "beat X trainers to reach the gym leader"? I'm sick of those types of gyms, it's a total cop out for having to come up with a real gym puzzle. And they did that way too much in BW2, literally half of the gyms in that game were of that format.

This gives me a genius idea. You know that vine swinging section in the trailer? What if that's not a gym puzzle, but an Elite 4 puzzle, and you have to complete puzzles to reach each Elite 4 member?

I really hope that there is a dark gym leader this region as if i recall correctly, we have not had a dark gym leader yet
also i want there to be a bug gym leader that doesn't make bug types look like a complete joke like burgh and bugsy did
plus a poison gym leader that uses poison types well and uses some bulky ones that can abuse toxic and venoshock

Another good example would be Brawly. Being a surfer and all, one would assume he's a Water-type Gym Leader.

That and he resides in (Dew)ford Town. I have no issue with being mislead because it actually makes it more of a challenge. I definitely brought Water and Grass types to Roxie's gym and got the crap kicked out of me the first time around just because I was mislead. So I like when it happens.

I HAVE DIANCIE, POKEBANK CELEBI, AND SOME SHINIES FOR TRADE.
THE LIST MAY BE UPDATED FROM TIME TO TIME.
PM IF INTERESTED.

I know you guys may be sick as hell of me occasionally bringing this up, but am I the only one who thinks Unova may appear in this game?

Against: (My counters in Bold)

-If We get 16 GLs Like Gen II and HG/SS, There's a Presumed Bug-Type Gym, like Burgh in Unova. Simple, either Burgh quit, remodeled his Gym, we're getting both because they're would only be 17 types to cover 20 types specialists, (21 if the Champion is a type specialist, 24 if we get two E4s, etc.)

EDIT: Or it's not a gym.

-Herp-a-Derp! America/New York is nowhere close to Europe/France!: Not geography wise, but culture wise the two are like brothers. If my history serves me right, then the Statue of Liberty was a gift from the French, America as we know it maybe wouldn't of happened if it wasn't a former British colony, etc. And before you say, "Unova is just New York!" and "This gen is just France!" then to squeeze lemon juice into your wounds, the Statue of Liberty is in New York as a gift from France (If I'm not a dumb*ss and messed up my history!)

-Bwah! I don't want it to be!: STFU, what happens in the game is GF's choice, not mine, not yours, not ours, but GF's!

-But it has its own Route 3!: It could be Unova, remember, we don't know how much time has passed, and places do change, if it's natural or caused by beings.

For:

Could give the landslide in BW2 a reason.

Gen II (Gen I) and Gen VI (Gen V) are both VERY big steps in aesthetics, introducing 'vivid' colours and full 3D to the series.

Unova is said to have many rare Pokemon exclusive to the region, and gives a natural explanation rather than the overused 'It/They got transferred!" excuse.

Unova seems to only be Part of a landmass, we never see the land to the north.

As I said, culturally close.

Kind of a useless point, but it seems Eevee is only naturally found in Unova, (Castelia Park and Hidden Grottoes/Hollows/Forgot what their called) and Sylveon is being introduced. (The Eevee in Trophy Garden seem to be exported. Also, does this make Eevee the first Pokemon to be native to one region, but introduced before that region?)

It seems to share the same Gym sign as Unova. Little, but could mean they're in the same league.

We did get to fly on Airplanes at limited times to limited places in BW2, so the regions don't even need to be connected.

So it's another "beat X trainers to reach the gym leader"? I'm sick of those types of gyms, it's a total cop out for having to come up with a real gym puzzle. And they did that way too much in BW2, literally half of the gyms in that game were of that format.

B2/W2?

In B/W, literally EVERY SINGLE GYM is like that, B/W is a much better example

My shinies are not for trade or cloning.
Shinies are not listed in order, for example the last shiny on the banner is not always the latest shiny I've obtained.

And yeah, I hate Gyms like that.

The only gym that even comes close in BW1 was Lenora's, the rest all had some gimmick to them. They may have forced you to battle the trainers, but the trainers themselves weren't part of the gimmick. That's not the case with BW2, where for Cheren, Roxie, Elesa, and Drayden, the gym puzzle directly involved beating the trainers to reach the gym leader.

That is a genius idea indeed! Up till now we've always had simple route from one E4 member to the other but this would be an amazing twist to the norm. They can go really creative here too, would make it so much more fun.

Yea i actually like this idea. Providing an extra challenge before a challenging battle. But i have another idea, you enter a town area at the bottom with a pokemon centre, a few houses and NPCs, then you move onto a tower with a spiral staircase around it. At the bottom it is the first e4 member, defeat them, climb further, next one etc. until you reach the top to have a final battle with the champion. But heres the catch, the e4 order shuffles each time and each have their own gym like building with a puzzle to complete.

The almighty Turtwig is my claim

i cant believe nobody realized this but me... and maybe thats because im wrong in this case.... but its a 3D game. X coordinate, Y coordinate.... Z coordinate! they have to make a Z legendary, and boom. perfect for the 3D game.

Other people have mentioned this theory.

But I think most people believe these games deal with genetics, since there's a double helix in the logos for the games.
